🧾 Flashing Fabrication Angle
You can display the angle of bend for fabrication of certain trim pieces, especially hips, valleys and ridges. This option is set when you define the colour, style and weight of your flashing lines.
To turn on fabrication angles, simply double click the cell next to the flashing type, under the Show Angle column. When set, indicated by the [X] in the cell, the cutting list and all subsequent reports include the bend angle for each trim/flashing item.

🔧 Other Flashing Options
Colour Set
To quickly set the colour for each of the Coloured flashings, click Set Colour. Then select the colour you want.
Single-Line
This command lets you assign one or more extra or different flashings to a line you select, effectively creating a 'Flashing Assembly' on the fly.
When you click this button, you are prompted to select a line. This is the line to which you will be adding or changing the list of flashings. After selecting the line, a dialog box displays showing the line type (e.g., FASCIA).
You can also ask the system to report the base flashing for the line by clicking the 'Do report' button which toggles between 'Do report' and 'Do not report'.
If there are no single flashings attached to the line, you are informed that 'There are no single flashings associated with this line'.
To attach a flashing to the line, click [Add-Flashing]. Single Line flashings may also be inserted along arcs. The list of flashings is then displayed, from which you select one. For painted flashings, you are also prompted to select a colour.
To the right of each flashing are three buttons:
Button | Function |
[-] | Delete the flashing |
[…] | Change the flashing |
[+] | Add a new flashing to the selected one |
When you select [OK], you get the opportunity to continue selecting other lines that might have the same unique treatment. Right mouse click to 'cancel' and quit
changing the lines.
Complex trim systems can be made using this technique – for example vented ridges. All required accessory items are also quantified automatically, based on the original definitions of each selected item.
User-Lens
This command allows you to add user defined flashing items to lines in the model. First, the Select a flashing dialog is displayed showing only those flashings defined as User defined. Then you select the line or lines you want to apply this flashing to.
Other Commands
Command | Description |
Chg. LineType | Allows you to change the line from say, 'Gutter' to 'Fascia and Gutter', without having to exit the Flashing dialog. |
Define Flashing | Takes you straight to the Set Up > Flashing dialog so you can define or modify a flashing. This saves you having to exit and go to Set Up. |
Set All to None | Resets all the selected flashing definitions to none so you can set new flashings for the current job. |
Move Text | Allows Flashing Annotation text to be moved and this location will be remembered when the flashing is re-generated in the future. Previously, moved text had its position reset by the software. |
